Materials Data on Ho(FeGe)2 by Materials Project
HoFe2Ge2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ho is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Fe and eight equivalent Ge atoms. All Ho–Fe bond lengths are 3.32 Å. All Ho–Ge bond lengths are 3.05 Å. Fe is bonded to four equivalent Ho and four equivalent Ge atoms to form a mixture of edge, corner, and face-sharing FeHo4Ge4 tetrahedra. All Fe–Ge bond lengths are 2.43 Å. Ge is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ho, four equivalent Fe, and one Ge atom. The Ge–Ge bond length is 2.51 Å.
